Fill in the correct word to complete the sentence. have you finished that book.

Reading

Explanation:

 The word needed  to complete the sentence is the gerund 'reading'  (it drescribes the verb 'read' in the present participle). The verb 'finish' means that the action or the process we were envolved with is now complete, and after this verb we can only use a gerund  (ing), never an infinitive (to). Have you finished reading that book?

the correct answer is d. in john paston's letter written friday, 14, 1476, he expresses his fear that he may have to go to war.

indeed, although the black death was ravaging europe, the pastons were relatively safe from it due to their social status as they were part of the landed gentry. it is clear that the vast majority of the victims of the pandemic were the poor. the reason why he is weary of having to go to war is because at the particular time england was also devastated by the war of the roses and paston, being a courtesan was inevitably involved.
